“Had a chance to work with Pat’s boot camp this past July. I had been working with Pat with his coaching over the past year and he had been helping me out overcoming my fears and deeply ingrained negative mindsets in regards to dating (well some of us need a little help here). Anyway, even though I had been doing work on my end, I felt it would be a good idea to do some one-on-one work with Pat as it was. First of all, as good as it has been doing weekly phone calls with Pat I felt it would help to actually meet my coach in person and also be able to get instant feedback as he observed my actions as I’d go about in my interactions with women in various settings, whether it be meeting women on the street, in bookstores, or bars and dance clubs. I had done such boot camps before and my previous boot camp had also been a valuable use of my time with another coach, and yet I felt that Pat might have an approach that would better fit my needs (I am a naturally introverted guy after all). At the same time though, I was quite petrified as I knew I’d get pushed into doing things and approaches that are way outside my comfort zone. But I decided I’d try to have an open mind and have a good sense of humor of it all. And yes I was pushed, some of the things I was asked to do (like engaging a girl by asking an absurd question or giving a sincere compliment) would be things I never would think of doing. Yet at the same time as I’d go into these approaches with the right mindset of having fun, I’d notice that I’d almost always get amazing reactions from the girls that I’d meet. And in doing so, I’d learn something new about myself, and I’d learn that I could do something that I did not think I was capable of doing. Sure, I’d still be nervous to approach women, but as we moved on through the boot camp, the terror would be less and the excitement of making an approach and engaging a girl (and asking for her number) would be greater. My fears of a bad experience would be replaced with excitement and curiosity of just what might happen if I went out of my comfort zone. Also with Pat’s program, I was able to get a better idea as to which environments in meeting women I’m great at (I would have never have thought of myself as someone who could day game). I left the boot camp with a level of confidence that I didn’t have before, and I’ve noticed that it’s really helped me as I’ve continued forward in my dating and personal development endeavors (I’ve been getting more opportunities to meet and go on dates with quality girls for one thing, which wasn’t happening before). That’s the thing with Pat – you’ll find out where your strengths are and where you can do some work on as well. And you’ll learn new things about yourself along the way. You may find yourself getting discouraged at times, but you’ll also learn how to quickly bounce back and get back on your game if you do find yourself going there. And as you work through things, you get a better idea of your potential and you’ll acquire even greater confidence. I would say I’ve acquired more confidence with women in the past few weeks since I did Pat’s program than I had to work on my own ever. Also what I love about Pat’s program is that you learn real social skills (no snake oil, no POS pick-up lines, PUA crap) that will help you develop quality interactions with women, that will set the foundation you need to set the kind of quality relationships with women you no doubt want. So if you are looking to get that boost you may need to get your dating life going or if you want to get better with women, I’d recommend working with Pat.”
